Czub M, Uliana F, Grubic T, Padeste C, Rosowski K, Lorenz C, et al.
Nat Commun . 2025 Jan; 16(1):1165. PMID: 39885130
Microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) participate in nearly all microtubule-based cellular processes and have recently been proposed to function as liquid condensates. However, their formation and internal organization remain poorly...

Xu X, Rebane A, Roset Julia L, Rosowski K, Dufresne E, Stellacci F
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Dec; 121(50):e2407633121. PMID: 39642205
Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an intracellular process widely used by cells for many key biological functions. It occurs in complex and crowded environments, where amino acids (AAs) are vital...

Xue N, Wilen L, Style R, Dufresne E
Soft Matter . 2024 Dec; 21(2):209-215. PMID: 39639684
The surface tension of partially wetting droplets deforms soft substrates. These deformations are usually localized to a narrow region near the contact line, forming a so-called 'elastocapillary ridge.' When a...

Yang S, Gerber D, Feng Y, Bain N, Kuster M, Lorenzis L, et al.
Sci Adv . 2024 Aug; 10(34):eado7750. PMID: 39178262
It is widely known that freezing breaks soft, wet materials. However, the mechanism underlying this damage is still not clear. To understand this process, we freeze model, brittle hydrogel samples,...

Jambon-Puillet E, Testa A, Lorenz C, Style R, Rebane A, Dufresne E
Nat Commun . 2024 May; 15(1):3919. PMID: 38724503
Biological macromolecules can condense into liquid domains. In cells, these condensates form membraneless organelles that can organize chemical reactions. However, little is known about the physical consequences of chemical activity...

Gerber D, Wilen L, Dufresne E, Style R
Phys Rev Lett . 2023 Dec; 131(20):208201. PMID: 38039453
Damage caused by freezing wet, porous materials is a widespread problem but is hard to predict or control. Here, we show that polycrystallinity significantly speeds up the stress buildup process...

Fernandez-Rico C, Schreiber S, Oudich H, Lorenz C, Sicher A, Sai T, et al.
Nat Mater . 2023 Oct; 23(1):124-130. PMID: 37884672
Bicontinuous microstructures are essential to the function of diverse natural and synthetic systems. Their synthesis has been based on two approaches: arrested phase separation or self-assembly of block copolymers. The...

Testa A, Spanke H, Jambon-Puillet E, Yasir M, Feng Y, Kuffner A, et al.
Langmuir . 2023 Oct; 39(41):14626-14637. PMID: 37797324
Solutions of macromolecules can undergo liquid-liquid phase separation to form droplets with ultralow surface tension. Droplets with such low surface tension wet and spread over common surfaces such as test...

Sai T, Froufe-Perez L, Scheffold F, Wilts B, Dufresne E
Soft Matter . 2023 Oct; 19(40):7717-7723. PMID: 37789800
Color can originate from wavelength-dependence in the absorption of pigments or the scattering of nanostructures. While synthetic colors are dominated by the former, vivid structural colors found in nature have...

Heyden S, Style R, Dufresne E
Soft Matter . 2023 Jun; 19(23):4385-4390. PMID: 37272410
Inhomogeneously swollen elastomers are an emergent class of materials, comprising elastic matrices with inclusion phases in the form of microgel particles or osmolytes. Inclusion phases can undergo osmotically driven swelling...
